replied to Cosby's wife. She used one word that seems to sum her up..."complicit". She was complicit in her husband's behavior and crimes.

being blamed for what their husbands do. The wife of a man like Cosby is also a victim in another way.

She's been married to him over 54 years. She was married to him during the time that these things supposedly happened. Her son was murdered and a daughter died while waiting for a kidney transplant. I give her a pass. She's in denial and at this age, probably always will be.

Should she be quiet? Yes, but she's fighting for the love of her life.

accused Camille of being present while she was drugged and assaulted. If true, that casts her as a co-conspirator.

who has serious psychological problems, but I appreciate that you fleshed out some of her story. I feel bad for her -- up to a point. But then I realize, she'd simply cease to exist (on some level if not literally) if she had to face the truth about this.

When a Hollywood marriage lasts 54 years, the wife has a reason to believe that they're married to someone they know. The Bill Cosby that's been found guilty is someone she doesn't know at all.

“Hook up with OJ?” Why him? Because he is black? A convicted felon? You do know Camille has committed no crime, right?

I mean, does this seriously have to be explained.

Do you remember when Clarence Thomas called his hearings "A high tech lynching"? Were you fine with his take on that?



It's shameful.

She's looking at becoming a 74 year-old prison widow. Her husband is a serial sexual predator. She' really had a bad couple years and needed to strike-out at someone.
